Indexed Organized Tables – An Introduction to IOT Secondary Indexes (A Second Face) March 19, 2012Posted by Richard Foote in Block Dumps, Index Internals, Index Organized Tables, IOT, Oracle Indexes, Secondary Indexes.

Man, its been ages since I had free time to update the blog, what with birthday parties to organise, Roger Water concerts to attend and Radiohead concerts in the planning !! OK, time to take an initial look at Secondary Indexes for Index Organized Tables (IOTs).
If the IOT needs to be accessed via the Primary Key (PK) column(s), then no problem, the IOT structure must have a PK defined and the logical structure of the IOT ensures that data within the IOT is ordered based on the PK. Therefore, the IOT can be navigated like any conventional PK and the necessary data can be efficiently accessed.
But what if we want to access the data efficiently via Non-PK columns or without specify the leading column of the PK ? Can we create secondary indexes on a IOT ?
When IOTs were first introduced way back in Oracle8, secondary indexes weren't supported (they came later in 8i). That's likely due to the fact Oracle had to resolve a tricky issue in relation to indexing an IOT structure, that being what to do when indexing rows that potentially move around all the time ?
With a conventional Heap table, once a row is inserted into the table, it doesn't generally subsequently move. There are relatively few examples of when this occurs, for example updating the partitioned column of a row such that it needs to be stored in another partition. This is recognised as a rather expensive thing to do as not only do at least two blocks need to be accessed and modified but it also requires associated indexes to be updated as well. As such, it generally requires explicitly allowing such activities to occur (by enabling row movement and the such). Note, when rows migrate to another block due to an increase in row size, indexes are not impacted and still reference the original block and the remaining stub of the row which points to the new block/location of the row.
But with IOTs, the story can be very different. When a 50-50 index block split occurs, roughly half the rows in the leaf block move to a new block. A relatively expensive operation would be even more expensive if Oracle had to also update the index entries of all secondary indexes that referenced all these moved rows. Although rare with Heap tables, rows moving to new locations could be relatively common in an IOT due to associated 50-50 block split operations.
To deal with the difficulties of frequently moving rows within an IOT, Oracle created the IOT Secondary Index structure. It has three main components:
- The indexed column values
- The PK columns of the associated IOT
- A "guess" that points to the physical location of the rows within the IOT, initially at the time the index is created
So the IOT Secondary Index is used in the following fashion. During an index scan, Oracle attempts to use the "guess" to access the block that was the last known physical location of the row within the IOT. If it finds the required row in the IOT, great. The index performs in a similar manner to using a rowid with a conventional secondary index. However, if the required row is nowhere to be seen within the referenced block, Oracle tries again, this time using the PK value contained with the IOT Secondary Index to perform a Unique Scan of the IOT. This is a little more expensive to perform as it requires navigating down the branch structures of the IOT, but is at least guaranteed to find the row this time in its current location.
So in the best case scenario, the index performs similar to that of a normal secondary index. In the worst case scenario where the row has moved, the index is forced to perform an additional Unique Scan of the IOT using the PK but at least this has the potential to be much more efficient that a Fast Full Scan of the IOT in order to find the necessary row.
The key point to note here is that the secondary index is not updated when a block split on the parent IOT occurs. The "guess" via the physical pointer reference simply becomes stale and the PK which is also stored within the secondary index is used as a backup method of accessing the required row.
If we start with a traditionally simple little demo, let's first create and populate an IOT:
SQL> CREATE TABLE album_sales_IOT(album_id number, country_id number, total_sales number, album_colour varchar2(20), CONSTRAINT album_sales_iot_pk PRIMARY KEY(album_id, country_id)) ORGANIZATION INDEX; Table created. SQL> begin 2 for i in 1..5000 loop 3 for c in 1..100 loop 4 insert into album_sales_iot values (i, c, ceil(dbms_random.value(1,5000000)), 'GOLD'); 5 end loop; 6 end loop; 7 commit; 8 end; 9 / PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=>'BOWIE', tabname=> 'ALBUM_SALES_IOT', cascade=> true, estimate_percent=> null, method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1'); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
If we now run a query based on the non-PK TOTAL_SALES column:
SQL> select * from album_sales_iot where total_sales = 2000; ALBUM_ID COUNTRY_ID TOTAL_SALES ALBUM_COLOUR ---------- ---------- ----------- -------------------- 1764 56 2000 GOLD Execution Plan ---------------------------------------------------------- Plan hash value: 1789589470 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 18 | 425 (1)| 00:00:06 | |* 1 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| ALBUM_SALES_IOT_PK | 1 | 18 | 425 (1)| 00:00:06 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predicate Information (identified by operation id): --------------------------------------------------- 1 - filter("TOTAL_SALES"=2000) Statistics ---------------------------------------------------------- 1 recursive calls 0 db block gets 1586 consistent gets 0 physical reads 0 redo size 757 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client 523 bytes received via SQL*Net from client 2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client 0 sorts (memory) 0 sorts (disk) 1 rows processed
We see that Oracle has no real choice (the PK is of no direct use here) but to perform an expensive FAST FULL INDEX SCAN, even though it correctly knows relatively few rows are to be retrieved.
If we create a secondary index on the IOT however:
SQL> create index album_sales_IOT_total_sales_i on album_sales_iot(total_sales); Index created. SQL> select * from album_sales_iot where total_sales = 2000; ALBUM_ID COUNTRY_ID TOTAL_SALES ALBUM_COLOUR ---------- ---------- ----------- -------------------- 1764 56 2000 GOLD Execution Plan ---------------------------------------------------------- Plan hash value: 1433198708 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 18 |4 (0)| 00:00:01 | |* 1 | INDEX UNIQUE SCAN| ALBUM_SALES_IOT_PK | 1 | 18 |4 (0)| 00:00:01 | |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN| ALBUM_SALES_IOT_TOTAL_SALES_I | 1 | |3 (0)| 00:00:01 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predicate Information (identified by operation id): --------------------------------------------------- 1 - access("TOTAL_SALES"=2000) 2 - access("TOTAL_SALES"=2000) Statistics ---------------------------------------------------------- 1 recursive calls 0 db block gets 5 consistent gets 5 physical reads 0 redo size 757 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client 523 bytes received via SQL*Net from client 2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client 0 sorts (memory) 0 sorts (disk) 1 rows processed
We notice that the index is used as expected and the number of consistent gets has dropped significantly. Notice also that the IOT is accessed subsequently not via Index ROWIDs but by a INDEX UNIQUE SCAN via the IOT PK. More on this later …
If we look at a partial block dump of an index entry within the IOT Secondary index:
row#0[8015] flag: K—–, lock: 0, len=21
col 0; len 3; (3): c2 1f 28
col 1; len 3; (3): c2 15 37
col 2; len 2; (2): c1 1b
tl: 8 fb: –H-FL– lb: 0x0 cc: 1
col 0: [ 4] 01 01 41 da
col 0 represents the indexed value (TOTAL_SALES)
col 1 and col 2 represent the PK columns (ALBUM_ID and COUNTRY_ID)
Following the 3 byte table header overhead required for the "guess", we have the second col 0, which represents the 4 byte "guess" to the last known physical location of the row.
Much more to follow shortly …

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA—What may be the biggest tech lawsuit of all time is now in the hands of a nine-person jury. Apple and Samsung lawyers gave their final arguments today in a San Jose courthouse that was, once more, packed to the brim with reporters and observers.
The accusations that brought us all here? Apple's lawyer described a three-month orgy of copying kicked off by a "crisis of design" at its Korean competitor. Samsung's attorney countered that argument in grand terms, telling jurors that the future of free competition rests in their hands, and they should stop Apple from "seeking a competitive edge through the courtroom."
In tech litigation, this is a clash of the titans—the two largest smartphone companies battling for dominance of the US market. Apple is asking for up to $2.75 billion and injunctions that could kick Samsung's phones off the market, while Samsung is asking for $422 million for infringement of its own patents.
Apple lawyer tells jury: Samsung's three months of copying ripped off a 4-year investment in iPhone
The story of Samsung's copying, said Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny, was told in Samsung's own documents. He ran through the competitive analysis from inside Samsung that showed the company was worried about its user interface technology. There was the e-mail from the designer who talked about a "difference of Heaven and Earth" between the iPhone and a Samsung phone; the same e-mail talked about a "crisis of design" at the company.
That crisis kicked off a period of "intense copying," said McElhinny. "In those three months, Samsung was able to copy Apple's 4-year investment in the iPhone, without taking any of the risks—because they were copying the world's most successful product."
The competitive analysis document, translated from Korean, came up more than once; it looked at successful iPhone features and suggested how Samsung could react to them (although, the document specifically recommended "differentiating" at points.)
Samsung didn't send key witnesses, McElhinny said—like the designer who made the first Galaxy phone. "Samsung put on no witness who even admitted to seeing, much less writing, the copying documents we showed you," said McElhinny. "Instead of witnesses, they sent you lawyers."
When it came to proving the trade dress case, McElhinny cited a survey showing people returning Samsung products to Best Buy, sometimes mistakenly believing they had purchased iPads.
Like his opening, McElhinny's closing pitch to jurors was part sales pitch, and used many of the same laudatory press clips about Apple products that had been shown to the jury earlier. "Even Samsung thought the iPhone changed the world," noted McElhinny excitedly, referring to an internal Samsung document. "An obvious design is not called 'revolutionary' by the company's biggest competitor."
As for the prior art that Samsung had said showed Apple's patents were invalid, McElhinny was dismissive: "It's hard to imagine holding the Diamond Touch in your hand and making a phone call," he scoffed.
When it came time to wield the damages hammer, McElhinny didn't hold back. "Samsung makes fun of our damages claim," he said. "They make fun of us asking for billions of dollars." But two serious factors are driving Apple's $2.75 billion damages request, he said: first, Samsung has sold 22.7 million infringing phones and tablets in the US—that's 30,000 units per day in the relevant period. Those have generated $8.16 billion in revenue, McElhinny said.
"The damages in this case should be large—because the infringement has been massive," he said.
Samsung to jury: Apple's lawsuit is an attack on free competition
Samsung's closing was led by Charles Verhoeven, the same lawyer who did the opening and handled many key cross-examinations. Verhoeven bashed Apple experts like Susan Kare, calling them paid experts who didn't really do serious studies or talk to people.
Before he did that, though, he spent a few minutes attacking Apple's motives in bringing this lawsuit.
"Apple is here," Verhoeven began, "asking you to prevent its largest competitor from giving consumers what they want—smartphones with big screens. So, why is Apple doing this? Because its patents are being infringed? Both companies have thousands of patents."
Verhoeven got straight to it, suggesting another motive. "Rather than compete in the marketplace, Apple is seeking a competitive edge through the courtroom," he said. Apple is suing more than 20 products, and looking to get over $2.7 billion, he reminded the jury. "It's seeking to block its biggest and most serious competitor from even attending the game."
Then he launched into a mom-and-apple-pie speech, Silicon Valley-style. Verhoeven continued:
"Look out there in the pews. You see all those reporters? Why are they here? They're here because of your decision. Ladies and gentlemen, if you go Apple's way, you could change the way competition works in this country. Is this country going to have vigorous competition between competitors? Or giant conglomerates with thousands of patents that block competitors?"
"Sure Apple has great products—we don't deny that," said Verhoeven. "But competition is what built this country, and we can see it for ourselves here in Silicon Valley."
Apple's case about copying has been a type of "shell game," he said—using old or inapplicable documents to prove different points. Slides that Apple had shown, with older, blockier Samsung phones before the 2007 introduction of the iPhone—and sleeker ones after 2007—were "an intentional attempt to mislead the jury," said Verhoeven. Samsung had large-screen phones before 2007, but Apple had chosen not to include them.
He reviewed the testimony of Samsung designer Jin Soo Kim, who had said that Samsung began developing the Galaxy Tab in October 2009, several months before the iPad was shown to the public. "And they called him a copyist," said Verhoeven, incredulous.
Apple's final rebuttal: "Make your own designs. Make your own phones."
The contention that Apple doesn't want to compete is "startling… and it is wrong," said Bill Lee, the Apple lawyer who delivered a final rebuttal.
"No one is trying to stop them from selling smartphones," he said. "All we're saying is: make your own. Make your own designs, make your own phones, and compete on your own innovations."
Suggesting that competition in America would fall apart from a pro-Apple verdict is nothing but a scare tactic, Lee said. Samsung wanted to take the patent laws the jury had just spent the last two and a half hours being instructed on and "throw them out the window," he said. "We can't do that, because the Constitution says we have to have them, to protect innovation."
And Apple's damage demand isn't too high considering how much Samsung has made. "They copied our products and made $8 billion," said Lee. "What they're saying to you now is—'We want you to let us keep all $8 billion. The number for you to focus on is $8 billion, and the question is, do they get a get-out-of-jail free card?"
The McElhinny came back in, giving his own spin on Verhoeven's "future of innovation" speech.
"If you find for Apple in this case, you will have re-affirmed the American patent system," said McElhinny. "People in this valley will continue to invest. They will take chances—because they know their investment will be protected."
A big verdict against Samsung would indeed change the world, said McElhinny. But it wouldn't harm competition—it would send a message that copying isn't the right way to compete. "If you award us the damages we are seeking, you will have upended Samsung's cynical game plan," he said. "You will have taken the profit away from them. You will have taught Samsung and everyone else that has gone down that road: that's not the way to profit."
The jury now has the case, and will return to the San Jose courthouse tomorrow morning to begin its deliberations.

Beyoncé Admits Inauguration Day Pre-Recording
The difference? On Thursday, it was live: She admitted during her Super Bowl news conference that when she performed for President Barack Obama and the nation, she decided to sing to a prerecorded track because she didn't have time to practice. Calling herself a self-proclaimed "perfectionist," she said wanted the day to go off without a hitch.
"I practice until my feet bleed and I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra," she said, adding that she was also emotional that day. "Due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I'm very proud of my performance."
It was the superstar's first public comments on what has become known as "Beyoncé-gate." Her rendition of the anthem at the inauguration was critically praised, but it came under scrutiny less than a day later when a representative from the U.S. Marine Band said Beyoncé wasn't singing live and the band's accompanying performance was taped. Shortly after, the group backed off its initial statement and said no one could tell if she was singing live or not.
With the controversy growing each day, and everyone from politicians to other entertainers weighing in, the inauguration performance threatened to overshadow her planned Super Bowl halftime show. So the 31-year-old, wearing a tight, cream mini-dress, addressed the issue as soon as she took to the podium Thursday afternoon.
She asked everyone to stand, and, with an image of the American flag behind her, performed a live rendition of the national anthem that mirrored the one on Inauguration Day. After, she said with a laugh: "Any questions?"
Despite her performance, there were.
When pressed about whether any sound was coming from her voice when she sang for the president, she said she was singing along to the track and not mimicking. And when asked if she would be singing live at the Super Bowl, she said: "I will absolutely be singing live.
"This is what I was born to do."
She added later: "I always sing live. … The inauguration was unfortunately a time where I could not rehearse with the orchestra, actually because I was rehearsing for the Super Bowl. So that was always the plan."
Beyoncé also got a chance to talk more in detail about the reason why she was in New Orleans – to perform at the halftime show. Calling it one of her career aspirations, she said when she arrived at the Superdome, she was so moved by the experience she took her shoes of and ran on the field, taking in the history at the famed venue.
"It really makes me emotional," she said. "When I am no longer here, it's what they're gonna show."
Beyoncé has teased photos and video of herself preparing for the show, which will perhaps be the biggest audience of her career. Last year, Madonna's halftime performance was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance ever, with an average of 114 million viewers. It garnered more viewers than the game itself, which was the most-watched U.S. TV event in history.
But she would not give anything more away about the performance. While a Destiny's Child reunion was shot down by Michelle Williams, who is starring in a production of "Fela!", the third Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland, is in town. Beyoncé laughed off questions of whether Rowland or Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, would join her on stage.
"I can't give you any details, sorry," she said.
She also would not reveal her set list, though acknowledged she was having a hard time trying to "condense a career into 12 minutes."
Before the news conference, Beyoncé's "Life is But A Dream" was shown to the media. The documentary about the star's life features her talking in-depth about intimate details of her life, including suffering a miscarriage; it will air on HBO on Feb. 16.
In it, she also reveals more of her 1-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, whom she called her inspiration.
"I feel like my daughter changed me and changed my life and has given me so much purpose," she said. She added that she was counting down until 9 p.m. Sunday, when her performance would be over – and she could be reunited with Blue Ivy.

There are a few things to know before buying Rubic. First, find a reputable cryptocurrency exchange to buy RBC. Next, create an account and deposit funds. Once you have funds in your account, you can start buying Rubic. Finally, store your RBC in a secure wallet.
- How To Buy Rubic
- What is Rubic
- What is a blockchain?
- Choosing the right cryptocurrency exchange
- Best Cryptocurrency Exchanges To Buy Rubic
- Supported countries
- Step 1: Choose your exchange
- Step 2: Deposit funds
- Step 3: Register for an account
- Step 4: Verify your identity
- Step 5: Buy Rubic
- Step 6: Secure Your Rubic In Your Wallet
How To Buy Rubic
RBC is a digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control.
Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009. Cryptocurrencies are often traded on decentralized exchanges and can also be used to purchase goods and services.
If you're interested in buying Rubic, you'll first need to set up a digital wallet. You can do this by downloading a wallet app or by setting up a custodial wallet through a cryptocurrency exchange. Once you have a digital wallet, you'll need to purchase RBC on a exchange using fiat currency (e.g., USD).
What is Rubic
RBC is a digital or virtual asset that uses cryptography for security. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency, and arguably its most endearing allure, is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but there are many others, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. These different tokens can be bought and sold on cryptocurrency exchanges.
To buy your first crypto tokens, you will need to set up a digital custodial wallet. This is where you will store your tokens. Once you have a wallet, you can buy RBC.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a digital ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. It is constantly growing as "completed" blocks are added to it with a new set of recordings.
Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. The blockchain uses nodes to differentiate legitimate RBC transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.
Choosing the right cryptocurrency exchange
When you're ready to buy Rubic, you'll need to choose a cryptocurrency exchange. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an exchange, such as the fees, the security of the platform, and the currencies offered.
Fees are important to consider because they can eat into your profits. Make sure to compare the fees of different exchanges before making a decision. Another important factor is security. Make sure the platform you choose is secure and has a good reputation.
Finally, you'll need to make sure the exchange offers Rubic. Not all exchanges offer all currencies, so be sure to check before creating an account. Once you've found the right exchange, you can create an account.
Best Cryptocurrency Exchanges To Buy Rubic
Some of the more popular exchanges to buy and sell Rubic include Bitstamp, Coinbase, Coinmama, Gemini, HitBTC, Korbit, Coinhouse, BitFlyer, BTC-E, and BitPay. We recommend CoinList for most new buyers.
The biggest exchange in the world is Coinbase. It is a US-based exchange with a credit card purchase option and low fees. If you're looking to buy your first crypto with fiat currency, CoinBase is a good option.
You might also buy Rubic with fiat when trading on Coinlist. This exchange offers some of the best rates for crypto to crypto trades.
Supported countries
If you want to buy Rubic, there are a few things you need to know. First, not all countries are supported by all exchanges, so you'll need to check which exchanges operate in your country. Second, you'll need to create an account on an exchange and go through their verification process.
Once you're verified, you can deposit fiat currency or cryptocurrency into your account and start buying RBC. Finally, make sure you understand the risks involved in buying x before you invest any money.
Step 1: Choose your exchange
The first step to buying your first crypto tokens is to choose a reputable exchange we recommend Coinlist. There are many exchanges out there, so it's important to do your research to find one that is trustworthy and has the features that you're looking for.
Some things to look for include security features, user-friendliness, and a wide selection of coins. Once you've found an exchange that meets your needs, sign up for an account and verify your identity.
Step 2: Deposit funds
Once you have an account on the exchange, you'll need to deposit funds into it before you can start buying coins. You can do this by transferring money from your bank account or by using a credit or debit card. Once the funds have been deposited,
Step 3: Register for an account
Now that you know what you want to buy Rubic, you need to find an exchange that sells it. To do that, you first need to create an account on a cryptocurrency exchange.
Most exchanges will require you to verify your identity before you can buy or sell Rubic. To do this, you will need to provide some personal information and, in some cases, a copy of your ID.
Once your account is verified, you can deposit money into it using a bank transfer or a credit/debit card. Once the money is in your account, you can start buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
Step 4: Verify your identity
The fourth step to buying Rubic is to verify your identity. This can be done by providing a government-issued ID, such as a passport or driver's license. You may also be asked to provide proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
Once you have provided this information, you will be able to create an account and begin purchasing tokens.
Step 5: Buy Rubic
Now that you've found a reputable exchange and have chosen the token you want to buy, it's time to make your purchase. The process for buying Rubic will vary slightly from exchange to exchange, but the general idea is the same.
You'll need to create an account on the exchange if you don't already have one, and then deposit money into that account. Once your funds are deposited, you can search for your chosen token and place an order to buy it. The exchange will then match you with a seller and complete the transaction.
Some exchanges may require you to complete additional steps, such as verifying your identity, before you can make a purchase. But once you've bought your tokens, they'll be deposited into your account on the exchange and transfer to your wallet.
Step 6: Secure Your Rubic In Your Wallet
Securing your wallet is the final step in the process of purchasing your first token. Once you've bought Rubic, you'll want to keep your wallet safe. Thieves love to target holders of cryptocurrencies, so it's important that you secure your login and password and ensure the security of your RBC.
You should also ensure that your computer is safe from viruses and that you store your private key securely. All of these steps will help keep your money and tokens safe. Once you buy Rubic, they're yours forever, so security is important!

Whether you're purchasing a new or existing home, consider the benefits of a home inspection performed by a certified or licensed inspector. The purchase of a home is the biggest investment people make. It not only involves acquiring a significant asset, it may also mean taking on additional problems as well. While home inspectors are limited in their scope, they can offer peace of mind to a new homeowner by assessing some of a home's major componenets.
Only 27 states require that a home inspector be certified, licensed or registered with the secretary of state. Fortunately, the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) is a national organization that requires its members to pass various tests and submit proof of at least 250 fee-paid home inspections before being admitted. No other home inspection organization requires such experience as a condition of membership, which makes it a great resource for borrowers looking for a good inspector.
Even new homes need an objective look. Don't rely on your builder or a county inspector for a neutral review. Use a separate and new set of eyes to examine your home. A private standard home inspection typically costs less than $500 and could save you thousands.
Try to hire a home inspector who is a member of ASHI. Ask for a list of features in and around the home that will be inspected. The most common areas examined include the structure, exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, interior, ventilation and fireplace.
Your home structure sits on a foundation that, if cracked or sinking, could mean big repairs in the future. Inspectors are trained to look for signs of problems. They will review the exterior - siding, flashing, trim, doors, decks, balconies and porches, as well as examine the vegetation, surface grading, drainage and retaining walls that may adversely affect the structure.
Most mortgage companies require a roof inspection if the home is over 10 years old. Your home inspector should also take a look at the roof covering, drainage systems, skylights, chimneys and flashing in order to assure that it is properly constructed to protect the home.
A visual inspection of a home's plumbing can heed a great deal of information. For instance, most inspectors review the interior water supply, drainage, waste and distribution systems including all fixtures and faucets to insure they are working properly. Water heating equipment, plumbing vents, fuel storage and distribution systems are all included in the inspection as well as pumps if applicable.
An inspection of the electrical system throughout the home including service drops, conductors, cables, equipment, grounding and main disconnects could be vital. A home inspector should also be able to insure there are a representative number of lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles and ground fault circuit interrupters. Your home's heating and cooling system, including any fireplaces, will be inspected to insure each is working properly.
A home inspection's final report should offer a summary of the home from roof to foundation with major repair suggestions and a list of potential areas that may need attention in the future. The summary should also identify problems and offer suggestions for possible preventive measures. Since many new homes offer a one-year warranty, consider getting a second inspection with a different inspector prior to the end of the term to assess any issues that may have developed and could be covered under the warranty.

About Mose Allison's The Way Of The World
Mose Allison's new album and ANTI- debut The Way of the World is in stores now, marking his return to the recording studio after a 12 year absence. Working with maverick producer Joe Henry, Allison has found his most sympathetic setting in years, surrounded by young, vibrant players, who add surprising slide guitar and some sinewy saxophone to the classic Mose sound; 'The Way of the World also features Mose' first-ever duet with his daughter, singer Amy Allison.
Yet this album is all Mose, from the solo song "Modest Proposal," a sly scalpel taken to organized religion, to the modernist, Monkish changes he takes the band through on the lone instrumental, "Crush." Remarking on the outsized influence that Allison has had on several generations of musicians, producer Henry writes in his heartfelt liner notes, "For many of us, Mose Allison has long stood as a great swaying bridge, spanning our strange, stormy times: linking the fifties to the present; the mystical country blues to the urbanity of jazz; tough beat poetry to wistful self-reflection; seduction to candor, heart to mind, wit to wisdom; Mark Twain straight through to Willie Dixon, with Chico Marx barking directions from the backseat, James Stewart at the wheel."
Allison occupies a hallowed place in blues songwriting, sitting alongside Dixon and Percy Mayfield in bringing a witty, urbane sensibility to the modern blues. Also well documented is his sway over a generation of British rockers - most rock fans know the Who's blistering run-through of "Young Man's Blues" on Live at Leeds, but are less aware of Mose' influence on John Mayall, Van Morrison, Ray Davies, and the Yardbirds, all the way through to the Clash, who covered "Look Here" on Sandinista. Then there is that subtle, indefinable fact of Mose' voice, that laconic, laid-back singing style without which we would have no Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Belle and Sebastian, and Schoolhouse Rock. Not to mention Allison the respected pianist, with his nods to Monk and Garner, and a slew of five-star Downbeat reviews in his piano bench. 'The Way of the World' finds Mose playing and writing with a new looseness, a playfulness and verve that belies his years, while behind the offhand swing lies the weight of those years, in the slowburn vitriol of Mose's mind in full gear. That canny blend of easy swing and lyrical incision makes 'The Way of the World' an instant classic, in Mose' or anyone else's repertoire.

Microsoft struggled under a negative public image during the Vista years. However, the work it did would help to lay the foundation for Windows 7, perhaps Microsoft's most popular operating system to date. The new OS, which was released last October, was extremely well received thanks in part to an unprecedented public test program that saw millions download free trial builds of early versions of the OS and suggest ways Microsoft could improve it.
Now Windows 7 has hit a market share of 10 percent according to market research firm Net Applications. To put those gains in context, Windows Vista did not hit over 10 percent until May 2008 – what took Windows Vista 16 months to achieve, Windows 7 did in a mere 5 months.
Currently, Windows Vista has around a 20 percent market share, while the nine-year-old Windows XP holds 60 to 70 percent market share.
Despite the emphatic success of Windows 7, the fastest selling OS in history, Microsoft is hard at work improving the operating system and its successors Microsoft is reportedly readying Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for a June 2010 beta release and a September 2010 final release. The SP1 will bring out of the box support for USB 3.0, one of the most exciting new computer technologies.
And according to Chris Green, a former Microsoft developer, Microsoft is already hard at work on the best-selling operating system's successor, code named Windows 8. The next-gen Windows may be released on July 2011. He leaked an entire release schedule which includes the upcoming Office 2010 and its successor Office 2012.
Microsoft also had some other good news to report. In January 2010, Internet Explorer 8 became the world's most used browser, passing IE 6. IE 8 currently has about a 22.31 percent market share worldwide. Internet Explorer 8's gains have been partially fueled by Windows 7's success -- IE 8 is the default browser on the U.S. edition of the OS.
IE 8 also has benefited from a recent push by Microsoft to get users away from IE 6 and IE 7, both of which have a flaw that was exploited by Chinese hackers to steal corporate data. Microsoft is urging users to upgrade to the new browser. Amazingly 20.07 percent of users in January still used IE 6 (many of these were likely business users). Google recently announced that it would be phasing out support for IE 6.
Microsoft appears to be firing on all cylinders. If it can continue its momentum with the release of Office 2010 later this year, it should be in a very favorable position at the year's end.

Mentalist's Owain Yeoman: I'm "Very Satisfied" With Rigsby and Van Pelt's Goodbye
[Warning: This article contains major spoilers from Sunday's episode of The Mentalist. Read at your own risk!]
Wayne Rigsby and Grace Van Pelt have left the building - for good.
Sunday's episode of The Mentalist marked a harrowing farewell to the characters played by Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti, who have been series regulars since the CBS drama debuted in 2008.
"I feel very satisfied that we gave the characters the conclusion that we did," Yeoman tells TVGuide.com. "We chose both the most satisfying but also the most practical way of ending their characters."
Sunday's Mentalist will be Owain Yeoman, Amanda Righetti's last
It doesn't take long for Rigsby, Jane (Simon Baker) and Cho (Tim Kang) to discover that Van Pelt has been kidnapped while they were at the bar on Sunday's episode. They quickly focus their attention on chief suspect Richard Haibach (William Mapother), who unfortunately presents an airtight alibi for his whereabouts at the time of the kidnapping.
While Rigsby, Jane & Co. are investigating, Van Pelt has managed to escape and hitch a ride with a passing motorist who agrees to bring her to a cabin so she can call the FBI. (First red flag: This woman doesn't have a working cell phone?) Turns out, the woman is none other than Haibach's sister, Hazel (Lisa Darr), who had been spying on Van Pelt and caught her trying to escape.
After getting nowhere with bureaucratic channels, Jane and Rigsby decide to take matters into their own hands and basically kidnap Richard Haibach to confront him. While they're arguing about whether or not to shoot him (a desperate Rigsby wants to; Jane tries to talk him down), Haibach manages to turn the tables and brings Jane and Rigsby at gunpoint to the same location where Hazel is holding Van Pelt.
Per usual, that whole scenario is part of an elaborate ruse set up by Jane and Rigsby, who staged their argument and made sure that the gun Haibach is armed with is empty. After a final, tense shootout in the cabin, Rigsby is left (critically?) wounded, but still manages to kill Richard Haibach and save Jane's life in the process.
Fast-forward to Rigsby's recovery. Impressed with Rigsby's work on the case, Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) makes him an offer he can't most certainly can, and does, refuse: to join the FBI full time. Looks like Rigsby and Van Pelt are leaving law enforcement for good. And who can blame them?
TVGuide.com spoke with Yeoman about Sunday's episode, what he saw as the one "huge missed opportunity" for Rigsby's character, and whether he thinks the current season of The Mentalist should be its last.
March Madness: The best angry coach faces
Rigsby and Van Pelt finally got their happy ending, but it was looking a little dicey there for a bit!
Owain Yeoman: It's one of those things where [their whole relationship] was a whole lot of off and on, and you have to get used to the idea that all things are not going to go well. ... I was talking to someone about it the other day and they were saying, "Why can't you just have them be happy?" I said, "You know what? That is actually quite dull to watch. No one really wants to watch that." You have to insert a lot of drama. ... We wanted to make sure that people feel like at any given moment, this could be the last moment for Rigsby and Van Pelt.
Was it fun to film those action scenes?
Yeoman: I was joking the other day, I felt like I was kind of like Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis. ... Rigsby really just became this sort of like all-American action hero out of nowhere. But it was great fun to shoot. ... There's a bit of a badass side to Rigsby. It's kind of fun to go out on. Who knew? [Laughs]
Are you pleased with the way their story wrapped up?
Yeoman: Pretty much, yeah. Certainly, I look back at my time on The Mentalist as nothing but an incredible journey, a wonderful family of people, a wonderful crew of people. And to have an audience for six years in today's TV landscape is nothing short of miraculous. I think people have an attention span of, like, two or three episodes these days. So to have been on the air as long as we have, it's a real honor and a real privilege to have found a place in people's pop culture hearts, really. So, I feel very satisfied that we gave the characters the conclusion that they did. They ended up together, which I think was the main concern. Ultimately the justification that they give in the episode for leaving is that they no longer want to be in law enforcement, which is very understandable. ... [After] literally looking death in the face, they find that they just want a quieter life.
Spring TV Preview: Must-watch new shows
Did the writers ever mention the possibility of killing one or both of the characters off?
Yeoman: It was discussed. And I put that forward as an idea. I think from an actor's point of view, you always want something to play that's dramatic, or something that feels like it could be very bold in choice. And of course, the boldest possible choice you could play at the end of a character's life is death.
What was behind the decision to give them a happy ending?
Yeoman: [Killing them off] is just something that I think, in the end, both the network and the writers wanted to shy away from because I think it's just the feeling that people want to wrap up these beloved characters in a comforting and satisfying way. And I don't feel like, with Rigsby and Van Pelt, there would have been any justification for killing them off in anything other than a kind of dramatic fashion. ... I think it's far more interesting to find dynamic and benign ways of resolving a character's story line, and that's what I think we did. [They're] parents, there's a lot more to live for now. It's one of those things where they're just trying to get a sense of their priorities. They say, "You know what? Life's too short." So I feel like in that way, we chose both the most satisfying but also the most practical way of ending their characters.
[But] I always said that I thought they missed a huge opportunity in not making Rigsby Red John. Just do that in the final episode. ... Rigsby was this evil, fascist genius. [Laughs]
After so many years of will-they-or-won't-they, were you happy that viewers got to see at least a little bit of domestic bliss with Rigsby and Van Pelt, with the time-jump?
Yeoman: I think it was nice to see ... because I always believed that the success of our show lies in our characters. It wasn't just another police procedural. It was like you knew these people. You knew their family lives. You knew them outside the badge. So I believe that's what breathed life into our show for the last few years.
So, CBS has not yet renewed The Mentalist for next season.
Yeoman: The fact of the matter is that, as we get closer toward a six- or seven-year story arc, there's never a really clear outline of when the show might end. I feel like the writers have a little bit of an impossible task sometimes. They have to be prepared to wrap something up, but also keep the possibility of it going. ... Every single season has been like, this could be the last one! Every time we got a new re-order or a new season, it's always been a bonus.
Spring TV Preview: Where we left off with returning shows
Do you think the current season should be the show's last?
Yeoman: We told some great stories and we [explored] some really, really interesting avenues. ... I think it honestly comes down to story. Is there a story to be told and are there people still wanting to hear the stories and watch them? ... I think if the story were to wrap up this year, we resolved the main things that fans wanted. We worked out the Red John story line, to a greater or lesser degree.
The main mythology, or certainly the main protagonist of the show, for me, was always Jane's hunting Red John. I think that the minute that you find Red John, you have to then find a completely different part in the Jane character, because Jane was always driven by that. And in many respects, maybe not too many people want to see him live this blissful life where he could move on. Because half of the show was always that terrible tragedy, that underneath this light and charming Patrick Jane character, there was a real heartache, a real hurt of someone who's lost their family. And I think no one really recovers from that. So maybe people don't want to see him remarried, living a blissful life with all of that in the past. I think if this were the year that things were to wrap up, I don't think anyone would have a problem with that.
Why was now the right time to move on for you?
Yeoman: Certainly, personally for me, it's time to move on. Rigsby really is a very small facet of what I want to do and what I think I'm capable of doing. And I think [when actors play long-running TV characters], people assume that's who you are. And Rigsby, if I'm honest, couldn't be more different than I am. I'm not American. He's not the sharpest tool in the box. So, I want to move on to something extremely different and show people that that's a very small part of what I'm capable of.
What's next for you?
Yeoman: I'm actually starting something right now with a writer friend of mine that we're pitching to a couple of networks. ... I'm kind of fascinated by the idea of what a character might be like if he was slightly less than James Bond. James Bond went to Oxford. This is the guy who went to Oxford Community College ... and he's just got a massive chip on his shoulder of not being quite good enough. I think there's huge comedy to be mined in that. ... So, that's something that we've been developing as a vehicle for me. ... I'm very, very interested in the idea of trying to exercise my brain a bit. ... So I've [been focusing on] developing my own work, my own shows, working with people that I love and breaking the mold of what people might sort of pigeonhole you into.

As the smoke clears and the emotions tone down from the maelstrom of vitriol that accompanied the news that CP Lee was now a Phillie, let's try to take a step back and look at this deal from a rational viewpoint, if only to see if the deal looks any better with emotion removed and to see if it tells us anything about the future of this team, in terms of 2010 and 2011. Starting out, the gnawing sense of frustration that colors much of the feelings on the Lee deal is that the Indians were not necessarily compelled to trade Lee this week as his contract ran through next season at an affordable number and could wait for the perfect deal to come around. If that perfect deal didn't materialize, the thought that the Tribe could simply hold onto Lee to take their chances with him in the rotation in 2010 always remained an option, even if the return this time next year would be expectedly lower. The idea being that contention in 2010 was easier to envision with Lee in the fold than without him, unless that deal came around that replaced him ostensibly in the rotation immediately and effectively...if that deal didn't come around, you wait it out. That "perfect deal" however, did not materialize nor did the Indians find themselves content to "wait it out" with Shapiro pulling the trigger on what he deemed to be the best offer on the table at this time. As Anthony Castrovince writes, the move was an admission that "the Indians decided that even with Lee on board, they had little chance of contending next season...because ownership told the front office that it will not commit any significant dollars to club construction in the offseason." and went the route of rebuild now with the idea that Lee's value (1 ½ affordable seasons of club control) would never been higher and with the idea that freeing up Lee's dollars would allow them the flexibility to improve the team in other ways for years past 2010. Is that a salary dump, to clear payroll while maximizing return whether the return is satisfactory or not? It sure comes off that way and in return, they received three players who likely factor into 2010 at the very latest (assuming no other deal is coming involving one of them) in Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, and Lou Marson with the high-upside player coming in the form of Jason Knapp. With that haul, the blue-chip prospect seems to be lacking for the Indians to hang their hat on in the deal, opting instead to go for a number of players that can contribute, to varying degrees, relatively soon and a youngster with a high risk/reward factor. In a piece detailing the players on their way into the Cleveland organization by Jayson Stark, it sounds as if that philosophy comes by design:
The Indians have done extensive studies of deals like this and found that teams which concentrate on "big league-ready" prospects as the centerpieces of these trades often make out the worst. Cleveland aims for upside -- and it ranked 18-year-old smokeballer Jason Knapp as having the highest ceiling of any arm in the Phillies' system, including Drabek's. One scout we surveyed Wednesday compared Knapp to a young Jonathan Papelbon. Another said: "If his medicals check out, they may have gotten a young Roy Halladay." Meanwhile, Baseball America ranked the other three players in the deal -- right-hander Carlos Carrasco, catcher Lou Marson and shortstop Jason Donald -- as the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 best prospects in the Phillies' system entering the season. "Carrasco is a power arm with three plus pitches, and he's 22 years old," said one scout who covers the Phillies system. "I think Donald will be a very good player. I know some people think he'll have to change positions. But I still wouldn't rule out shortstop. My comparison for him has always been Rich Aurilia, a guy you look at from afar and say, 'He's not a shortstop.' Then you watch him play and say, 'Yeah, he is.' I see him as a guy who can hit 20 homers, hit .275 or .280, and play real good shortstop. "And I really like Marson. I think he'll be a good player and a regular catcher in the big leagues. And what is he -- 23 years old? So I think both sides did well. Just because the Phillies have a good big league club and didn't fast-track these guys to the big leagues doesn't mean they're not good players. I think they are."
The return, on the surface, starts to make some sense if that's the best offer on the table and the Indians were going to make a move on the "best offer", if you buy into the idea that Carrasco is on par with the top pitching prospects in the game at the age of 22 in AAA with good peripherals. Certainly Knapp sounds like a prospect and an arm to dream upon, but the inclusion of what look to be a middle infielder and a catcher on a team with young players who already play those positions in Cleveland (Cabrera and Valbuena) or represent the best of their farm system (Santana) is where the package gets puzzling. If we're looking for MLB-ready arms by 2010 and high-upside power arms for Lee, Carrasco (who Rob Neyer thinks could be the Indians' best starter as soon as next summer) and Knapp make a lot of sense, but Donald and Marson make less sense, purely from the sense that the Indians had their pick of any of these ancillary players and specifically chose these two, even having to throw in Ben Francisco to "sweeten the pot" for the Phillies on the deal to net the foursome. Donald and Marson both look to be about MLB-ready and, while neither profiles to be an instant (or even eventual) star, they do have some value, but Donald and Marson simply play positions that are not positions of need at the MLB level for the Indians...and both are reported to be close to that point in their development. That being said, if you assume that Donald is a 2B/SS close to being ready for MLB and Marson is a close to being C ready for MLB, wouldn't it stand to reason that more trades are coming, either involving those specific players in a package or the players that would be ahead of them in the organizational pecking order to clear a path for them? Is Donald simply a replacement for Carroll or is he a player that can be flipped as part of a larger package? I know, Winston Abreu was supposed to serve the same purpose, right? Well, when you're talking about a young player with some defensive versatility like Donald has and is young, affordable, and purported to be MLB-ready, his value may be greater to a team looking for a young 2B/SS or one that doesn't have a Cabrera/Valbuena (both younger than Donald) combination starting to gel. I suppose he could be insurance against a sever Valbuena regression, but his presence in the trade portends that more may be afoot. If Donald's inclusion in the deal looks to be the precursor to another deal, what can be gathered from the Indians picking a 23-year-old AAA catcher from the Phillies when the organization is already brimming with upper level talent at C in Martinez, Shoppach, Gimenez, and Torregas with the idea that the position will belong to Carlos Santana by 2011 (or maybe even at some point in 2010) - wouldn't this serve notice that someone else is moving? The obvious answer is that Victor is next in line as the Lee trade decreased his likelihood of remaining an Indian into August as the Indians simply look to be re-shaping their roster with players that will factor in when 2011 starts, and Victor is not on that list. Marson could be paired with Shoppach next year behind the dish, or Shoppach could be moved in a deal, or Marson could also be moved in a deal...all before the 2010 season, depending upon the return that might be available for each. Suddenly, nothing looks off-limits and the idea that the Indians would only move if they were "blown away" seems to be off the table as (regardless of what Shapiro's track record has been on veterans-for-prospect moves has been...and it's been good to great) the return for Lee doesn't look to have that "overwhelming" feel to it and feels more like the first domino of many as the Indians are likely to look quite a bit different on Friday evening than they did even a week ago. For today, we're left asking whether Clifton Phifer was worth more or if we had been deluded by grand packages being mentioned for Roy Hallday and wondering what it all means in the grand scheme of things. In terms of whether the Indians could have netted more for Lee - we'll never know, just as we'll never know if contention in 2010 was possible with Lee fronting the rotation (at least to start the season) - but the overhaul seems to be on in full force and while the blue-chipper doesn't seem to have emerged yet, the Indians certainly look to be just starting the Extreme Makeover of their roster with an eye towards sustained contention...starting in 2011.

Autopsy: NY gunman shot self, not hit by police
State police say an autopsy shows the gunman who lured two New York firefighters to their deaths died of a self-inflicted shot to the head and wasn't hit by return fire from a police officer.
A positive identification of the body found in 62-year-old gunman William Spengler's burned house hasn't been made yet. Police believe it was his sister.
Troopers say Thursday autopsies show West Webster firefighter Michael Chiapperini died of a single gunshot and Tomasz Kaczowka died of two shots.
Spengler, who killed his grandmother in 1980, set his house near Rochester ablaze and ambushed the arriving firefighters just before dawn on Christmas Eve. He wounded two other firefighters and an off-duty police officer.
Investigators aren't yet releasing how the ex-convict got the weapons. He was barred from possessing them.
The two firefighters who survived the attack say they're thankful for the support they've received.
West Webster volunteer firefighters Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, who had been in guarded condition, were upgraded to satisfactory condition on Wednesday at Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital.
The hospital released a statement from them saying they were "humbled and a bit overwhelmed by the outpouring of well wishes for us and our families."
The firefighters said their "thoughts and prayers" were with the families of colleagues Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, killed by William Spengler Jr., a convicted felon barred from having guns. Funerals are set for the next few days for Chiapperini and Kaczowka.
Authorities said Spengler set a car on fire and touched off an "inferno" in his Webster home on a strip of land along the Lake Ontario shore, took up a sniper's position and opened fire on the first firefighters to arrive at about 5:30 a.m. on Christmas Eve.
Spengler, 62, traded rifle fire with a Webster police officer who had accompanied the firefighters and then killed himself with a gunshot to the head.
Investigators found a rambling, two- to three-page typed letter laying out Spengler's intention to destroy his neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people."
Investigators, meanwhile, traced the gunman's weapons and tried to confirm that remains found in the house are those of Spengler's sister, Cheryl Spengler. That still hasn't been confirmed and it is not known how she died.
The Spengler siblings had lived in the home with their mother, Arline Spengler, who died in October. In all, seven houses were destroyed by the flames.
There also was no word from authorities about how William Spengler, who served time for his grandmother's beating death, got three guns found with his body: a military-style Bushmaster .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .38-caliber revolver. The rifle, which had a combat-style flash suppressor, is the same make and caliber as one used by a gunman to massacre 20 children and six women at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school earlier this month.
Federal authorities confirmed Wednesday they had traced the sale of the weapons, but they didn't release details.
Spengler spent 17 years in prison for beating his paternal grandmother to death with a hammer in 1980. He had been released from parole on the manslaughter conviction in 2006, and authorities said they had had no encounters with him since.
Police Chief Gerald Pickering said investigators believe Spengler used the rifle to attack the firefighters because of the distance involved. He said police may never know Spengler's motive.
Chiapperini, who also was a police lieutenant, was driving a pumper with Scardino on board when bullets blasted the windshield. He and Kaczowka died at the scene. Hofstetter was hit in the pelvis, and Scardino was hit in the shoulder and knee.
A passing off-duty officer from the town of Greece was treated for shrapnel wounds from gunfire that hit his car.
Hearses carrying the coffins of Chiapperini and Kaczowka were escorted to West Webster Fire Station 1, where they were met by emergency vehicles with their lights flashing in salute.
Calling hours for the two men will be at Webster Schroeder High School on Friday and Saturday. A funeral for Chiapperini is scheduled for Sunday at the school, with burial in West Webster Cemetery.
A funeral Mass for Kaczowka, who worked as a Monroe County emergency dispatcher, will be held Monday in Rochester at St. Stanislaus Church, with burial at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

Esther Cepeda: College aid as a family affair
?February was Freak Out Month, errr, I mean, FAFSA Month. But, hey, same thing. And March is hardly better.
If the mere mention of FAFSA -- the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which most colleges and universities use as the universal form for determining financial aid eligibility for grants and loans -- doesn't strike fear in your heart, then you probably aren't staring down the possibility of not being able to afford to send your son or daughter to college this fall.
Even worse off than those who are already struggling to gather all the financial documents necessary to complete the lengthy application are the parents who are nursing the hope of landing scholarships, grants and student loans but have yet to hear about the FAFSA process.
Sorry, Illinoisans, the "priority deadline" -- the cutoff to qualify for state-based college aid -- was March 1. And funds were so limited that the state asked families to file "as soon as possible after Jan. 1, 2013" -- a hefty request when tax forms didn't even arrive until the end of that month.
Take heart, Texans, your budding scholars have until March 15 to meet their priority deadline and Mississippians until March 31.
As for everyone else whose students are deep into considering prospective campuses and majors, it's time to have some serious heart-to-heart conversations about how to pay for college.
And the No. 1 thing families need to know about applying for college financial aid is that it involves a ton of hard work.
First, the only way to triumph over the nightmare stories of students who graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in debt -- or worse, drop out before earning a credential but still owing on loans -- is to step out of your comfort zone and talk frankly about your child's hopeful expectations and the real-world limitations of parental help.
Probably the most shocking statistic I've heard about our country's trillion-dollar student-loan debt crisis is that Americans 60 and older are among the hardest hit.
Last spring, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that this demographic owes about $36 billion in student loans with about 10 percent of those loans delinquent.
Every parent wants to help their child through college but, as much smarter financial minds than mine have noted, it isn't wise to sign or co-sign your life away on someone else's education loan, even if that someone else is your baby. Plus, it might not be the best choice.
Research by Laura Hamilton, a sociology professor at University of California, found that while the common perception is that the more a family contributes to college costs, the more time students have to focus on studies, this may not be true. She reported that though students whose parents picked up most of the tab were likelier to graduate, their grade-point averages were lower than those of their peers, possibly because they had such a small stake in the financial aspects of their educations.
And then we have the question about whether a student should work while attending college. Over the past few years, there has been tension between those who are proud to have worked their way through and others who fear it puts students -- especially minority and first-time college students -- at risk of not performing well in school.
It's definitely a legitimate concern, especially if you're talking about students who haven't proved themselves to be high academic achievers. Yet, the American Psychological Association recently reported that African-American and Hispanic high school students who work long hours while attending school have more stable grades compared to whites and Asian-Americans working the same hours.
These studies shouldn't absolve parents from fretting about how college and its costs could make or break their child's future. But the tidbits could fuel the much-needed preparation and soul-searching required to confront some of the very real consequences of how to finance a family's college dreams.
Navigating these emotionally thorny issues is terribly hard work, but also the perfect precursor to the sometimes mind-boggling labor of applying for student aid. My husband and I already have our own student loans to pay off, and now we're planning on how to pay for college for our two sons. Believe me, it's a nightmare.
